When your children are close in age, motherhood feels like fast-forward—and it’s bittersweet

Everything is on fast-forward as you are asked to survive and thrive in such a short space of time. You watch them grow up one right after the other.

Motherhood is holding on, and then one day letting go

It’s holding on. To firsts and lasts, to moments of magic in the mundane, and to an ache of loving so deeply.

You are my reason

For you, my heart explodes.
